When "Parasite" became popular, my first reaction was that "Parasite" in 2014 was fried?
Different from the realistic theme of "Parasite", "Parasite" is a sci-fi horror movie modified from comics. Since the length of the original manga is similar to that of the movie after being dramatized, the film version of "Parasite" is only a little bit about some characters. change.
Under the premise that parasitic beasts that come from the sea like spores wantonly invade the human body to find a host for themselves, a parasitic beast named Xiaoyou and the host Izumi Shinichi are the protagonists of the movie. When the same kind began to let go of the belly and frantically eat the visible humans, Xiaoyou found that coexistence with humans was more in line with its requirements for parasitism, so it was the right hand of Izumi Shinichi and began to learn about human civilization. With the continuous growth of parasitic beasts and humans, Xiaoyou discovered that he hoped to exist among humans through new parasitic methods. The parasitic beasts and humans headed by Tamiya Ryoko and others, although they were all different from the most basic food relationship, achieved symbiosis. However, what this group of new peers want to pursue is the command of superiors and subordinates, while Xiaoyou pursues equal coexistence.
The setting of the parasitic beast is to change and expand freely. Once separated from the body, the parasitic beast will also die. The biggest difference from the zombie setting prevailing in Europe and the United States is that the parasitic beast has the ability to learn and differentiate the attack target.
This movie set with a horror plot does not pay much attention to the triggering of bloody and violent scenes. As the director said, he hopes that the audience will pay attention to the direction of the plot, so most of the time, it is a picture of Xiaoyou and Quanxin coexisting and learning: Xiaoyou studied human civilization, and Quan Xinyi studied the background of parasitic beasts. In these situations, Xiaoyou is used as a special effect picture, and there is no dissonance in the whole scene, and it is completely full.
And then to the soundtrack, as a manga-modified movie, plus the pilot film is an anime, there is a stereotype, and random breakthroughs during the filming will destroy the propaganda in the early stage, so the soundtrack of this movie is relatively simple, but fortunately The stable place and the burning place have achieved the expected effect.
The thing that touched me the most about this movie is that as a parasitic beast, Ryoko Tamiya said to the child thief Shinichi Izumi on the overpass after the child he gave birth to was stolen: "Don't bully us, we are weak. Creatures, compared to the terrifyingly powerful human beings, we are miserable and fragile, we cannot survive by ourselves, we are just a simple cell body, so don’t bully us.” This passage is interspersed with being shot by armed soldiers. The comparison of the parasitic beasts and human beings is also in contrast with the previous parasitic beasts and human beings who killed ordinary humans. Humans are afraid of parasitic beasts, are parasitic beasts also afraid of humans?
Including Xiaoyou and Izumi Shinichi, everyone feels that parasitic beasts have no feelings and will not be sad because of others, but every parasitic beast shows instinctive fear and fear, and Tamiya Ryoko is also until the last moment of life. are doing their best to protect their children. So, is the perception of aliens, whether parasitic beasts or humans, too one-sided?
Japanese film culture is very fond of interspersed with human nature, and behind the film is often the analysis of human nature.
When aggression is no longer the goal, I just want to live with you. This can strengthen the parasitic beast of the human body, can you accept it?
